She would be a B-77. A true inheriter of the B-17 toughness but with more than that single ability, surpassed by her ability not only to fly by use of hydraulically retracted wings, But how about this, To go where no man has gone before, or have a dinner in the Marianas Trench with the fishes ala 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Oh! and some of that hardware too!
The Pilots area in thought only, could be raised ala,"Nautilus "fashion to help see where the next seacraft to attack would be! With retractable saw tooth riser in the center. Side windows on the 17? Well, the lounge/library area with a pipe organ off to the side and shelves of books!
I'm gonna stop now, I have another ship to build before the parts get to me.
